"Blacksmiths of Modernity" mosaic (1974) Kyiv

"Blacksmiths of Modernity" mosaic in Kyiv, Ukraine. One of the brightest Kyiv mosaics is dedicated to nuclear physicists - the main rock stars of Soviet science. On the panel of Galina Zubchenko and Grigory Prishedko on the facade of the entrance of the Institute for Nuclear Research, they resemble new Prometheans who forge the future by splitting the nucleus and creating a "peaceful atom". The brightness and dynamics of the composition are really impressive! The theme of scientific progress was one of the most popular in monumental mosaics and a favorite among the authors of this work - by the way, a married couple. The brilliance of their compositions is not without reason reminiscent of distant lands: Grigory Prishedko studied in Mexico for two whole years with Diego Rivera, the wife of Frida Kahlo.
